Devouring Their Own: Kirk, Fuentes, Loomer, and the Cannibalism of the Far Right
Charlie Kirk spent his short, ugly career poisoning the American bloodstream. He was never an intellectual, never a leader, never anything more than a carnival barker for hate — a fast-talking opportunist who cashed in on resentment while insisting he was “saving” the republic. His rallies trained kids to harass professors, to lash out at trans classmates, to believe cruelty was courage. He made himself rich by teaching a generation that mockery and malice were virtues.
And yet, in the eyes of the real zealots, Kirk was never enough.
Nick Fuentes, the simpering would-be führer of the “Groyper” cult — an online swarm of bigoted young men obsessed with white identity and authoritarian purity — saw Kirk as a fraud: too slick, too corporate, too unwilling to openly embrace white supremacy.
Laura Loomer, a professional embarrassment who made a career out of getting banned from platforms and shouting at the void, likewise denounced Kirk as a charlatan. To them, Kirk was a poseur, a lightweight profiteer standing in the way of the “true” revolution.
And along came Tyler Robinson. A devoted follower of both Fuentes and Loomer, Robinson swallowed their bile whole. In his eyes, Kirk wasn’t an enemy of the left — he was a traitor to the right. Not ruthless enough. Not fanatical enough. Not vicious enough. So Robinson picked up a rifle and erased him.
Here lies the far right’s shame: Kirk was not assassinated by “antifa terrorists” or “trans radicals” or any of the bogeymen Fox News spins to keep viewers glued. He was taken out by one of their own — a disciple of Fuentes and Loomer, marinated in their paranoia, who decided Kirk’s carefully monetized hate wasn’t pure enough.
Fuentes fancies himself the heir to Hitler, but in truth he’s a bitter internet shut-in who weaponizes lonely young men. Loomer styles herself a warrior, but she’s a clown, careening between hysterical self-promotion and sewage. These are the idols Robinson chose. And Kirk — for all his venom, for all his harm — was chewed up and spat out by the very purity cult he helped unleash.
No one should mistake this for martyrdom. Charlie Kirk was not a victim of resistance; he was the collateral damage of a movement so rabid it devours even its own apostles. His death is not a tragedy for democracy — it’s a symptom of the rot of a fascist subculture that demands blood and will keep demanding more.
Seattle. The right have a sword of violence in their hand and Dems are being blamed for violence that most Dems are peaceful non violent citizens. Only right wing nuts design their bullets in the way this shooter did. The majority of shooters are right wing nuts and school shootings are not in the news because they are daily occurrences that are not in the news. The hate Kirk talked generates madness the weak use to do these things. Now the ones that do hate are getting the attention because it makes press. Live by the sword die by the sword.
Two of my favs
SO, WHAT EXACTLY MOTIVATED KIRK’S MURDERER?

Kirk’s wife is now echoing his hate. Birds of a feather, sadly.
Hell would freeze over before dumpy Donald invited Obama to the White House.
Great conversation, gentlemen.
Very great talk and presentation for you both. Thank you.
Will upgrade as soon as possible.
